Moviehole.net reckon they have it from an inside source that The Social Network, Mirror Mirror and The Lone Ranger star Armie Hammer has been cast as Batman in the long-mooted Justice League movie, and that he won’t be spinning off into a new solo franchise – if that happens it’ll be with a different actor.

Hammer was actually lined up to play Batman in Mad Max creator George Miller’s ill-fated attempt to put together a Justice League flick, telling MTV, “It’s unfortunate, because the amount of work that was already done — I mean, they had finished pre-production and they were a couple of days away from starting to shoot, so it’s a shame that nobody got to see all of the work that got put into it.”
